Hey Guy's,
For newly added AD or IPA users, is there a way to automatically
create the user folders on the FreeIPA server under say
/nfs/home/bill, for example so that when the remote client logs in, it
sees the NFS mounted folder?
Instructions that I can find right now require precreating the
folders. Need them precreated via the FreeIPA master servers anytime
someone attempts to login on a client using their AD credentials. Is
this possible? Assume the NFS server will be local to the FreeIPA
masters.
One needs to create home directories on the NFS server itself. If home
directories are mounted via NFS, then you need to have enough permission
to create the folder at the NFS root which is not what you'd want to
allow a regular user. Thus, it needs to be solved outside of a log-in
flow.
We don't provide any means to solve this in FreeIPA because file
sharing/hosting is not a FreeIPA problem. If your NFS server is running
on an IPA master, though, you might want to consider not using NFS
mounts on that server itself. In this case a normal oddjob-based
pam_mkhomedir would create the directories just fine.
Found steps like the one below but step 5) still requires pre creation
of the folders.
